What’s been happening:

As an Investment Advisor and owner of Panko Wealth Management, I employ two full time and three part time staff. For nearly 25 years, my practice has focused on professors and school teachers who are planning for retirement or are in the process of retiring. My firm specializes in SERS/PSERS and TIAA-CREF retirement distribution planning. As a Chairman Arbitrator, I periodically preside in FINRA/NASD arbitration cases in Philadelphia. Currently I am the Director of Education for the Financial Planning Association of Central PA and will be president in 2010. I have been the president of the Patton Township Business Association for the past ten years, have served as Chairman of the State College Area School District Community Education Committee for twelve years, and am Chairman of the Christian Education Committee at St. Paul's United Methodist Church. I still actively SCUBA dive (PADI Master Instructor), canoe, and ski when time permits.
